Longwood Gardens

Longwood from Home

With Halloween in a few short days, we’re sending you, our Members, a boo-tiful edition of Longwood from Home. This week, dive into new virtual Member benefits including a seasonal paint-by-number and jigsaw puzzle, get a behind-the-scenes look at the magic of A Longwood Christmas with our newest Member talk, and save the date for our holiday Member Appreciation Day!

Experience Our Newest Member Talk 
Join our Associate Director of Display Design Jim Sutton as he shares the inspiration and artistry behind this year’s holiday display. Learn how our horticulture artists use plants as their palette to create this year’s extraordinary display that showcases botanical splendor at its finest. 

Take a Game Break 

Get creative with our latest paint-by-number. Pull out those paints and create your very own mum scene at home! Then, try your hand at a new jigsaw puzzle featuring a scene from our Gardens. Don’t forget, we also have a variety of virtual games, tours, and videos to enjoy from home—just for Members! 

Get Ready for a Double Discount Day

Start your holiday shopping off on a double discount note! On November 12, Members receive 20% off in The Garden Shop, The Café, and 1906. Please note: Discount in The Garden Shop does not apply to already discounted items. Reservations for 1906 are strongly encouraged via OpenTable.

Beauty in the Making Moment

As our garden expansion continues to take shape, we've recently received six water tanks, measuring 60-feet-long and 8-feet in diameter, and each capable of holding 20,000 gallons. The tanks are part of our sustainable rainwater capture system that will allow us to reuse collected rainwater from the roof of the new West Conservatory and Administration Building. Two of the tanks will hold collected rainwater, which is then treated, filtered, and stored in three of the remaining tanks for irrigation purposes; one tank will hold gray water. The six tanks will be buried on the south side of the West Conservatory. 
Learn More About Your Membership
Members are invited to join Longwood staff on November 12 at 10:30 am or 12 pm for an introduction to our Gardens and discover all your Membership has to offer. Learn more about your Member benefits, visiting tips, and the history of Longwood. Afterward, enjoy a 60-minute Garden tour! 
Please note, our indoor and outdoor Gardens will be closed November 1415 for the installation of A Longwood Christmas. Our indoor Conservatories will remain closed November 16–17. A Longwood Christmas is on view November 18, 2022–January 8, 2023.
